The Newspaper is a throwable entry in the GTA 5 and GTA Online weapon data, not a weapon you can buy. It carries a datamined damage value of 0, a range figure of 30 and a clip of 1, which is the standard shape of a thrown prop entry rather than a real gun. Entries like this exist because the game files describe every hand-held object with the same weapon template, so the engine knows how to hold, aim and throw it. That is how a folded newspaper ends up listed beside grenades and sticky bombs. The 0 damage means it hurts nobody, and the 30 range simply describes how far the throw animation can carry an object of this type. There is no Ammu-Nation listing, no unlock rank and no price, which is why this page shows a dash where a cost would normally sit. Treat it as a curiosity from the data rather than something to hunt for in Los Santos.
Pick it up in the world or buy it from Ammu-Nation.
